New Zealand Kadhampa Buddhist Association

Lama Michel once said that today the oath ismade out of several paths. I currentlty follow LigMincha Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche. Do I have a conflict here: Can I follow both?

Good day, I’m a Dharma practitioner based in South Africa. I took refuge and Bodhisattva vows in the Nyingma tradition. I am not bound to any particular tradition though, in my personal approach. I am also loosely affiliated with the New Kadampa Tradition as I received my very first teachings in that lineage, namely a Je Tsongkhapa empowerment in 2010. After I took Refuge and Bodhisattva vows in 2019 I began having dreams about Dorje Shugden. In one dream he appeared as though hovering over my chest and promised to protect me. I have had other dreams where Dorje Shugden appeared and had a very compassionate nature and expression. My question is: why was it difficult to do Dorje Shugden practice as a member of the NKT but upon taking refuge in the Nyingma lineage, I’m having dreams of Dorje Shugden and experiencing his energy positively? I am considering rejoining the NKT but I don’t want to break my connection to the Nyingma lineage or my gurus. The NKT’s structure and Je Tsongkhapa’s teachings resonate strongly with me. Your advice would be much appreciated.

May the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas bless you.

Thank you 🙏🏻

Ps. Can one do Dorje Shugden practice without empowerment?

Thanks 😊

Is there a center of Kadampa Internacional (NKT-IKBU) in São Paulo - Brazil. If there is, please, take me a address. Thanks.

Is the last word in Gyenze’s mantra the actual word «OM» as in the beginning of most mantras? Or is it a pronounciation-expression of another syllable?

I thought it was the syllable «OM», but wanted to ask.

Best wishes.

There are really 2 steps to protect yourself from this kind of black magick.

1. You need to temporarily put a stop the the attacks and effects.

To do this, you need to perform the ritual known as the "Circle of Light" from the teachings of renowned black magick expert Austin Osman Spare(one of the founder of Chaos Magick). To do this, take a deep breath, put your consciousness in your third eye, breathe out, you will notice things change, you can see more subtle things like auras, etc, dont worry if this does not happen, but do not be alarmed about it if it does. Next you want to draw a circle of brilliant bright white light parallel to the ground at the level of your chest. Use your index finger and physically draw it, breathe out as you do so. Do this 3 times. Do the same again but make the circle vertical and down the middle of your body. Do the same again but making the circle vetical but side-to-side this time. You then need to manifest an elemental force to proactively protect yourself; I cannot explain how to do this publicly as it has a potential for misuse, if you can contact me I can explain it to you(details below).

2. To permanently stop this long-term, you must receive empowerment of Dorje Shugden, and recite his mantra daily or 100000 times until you gain experience with it. This will be of a big help to you and can put a final end to these kind of problems.

@Marek Rozenberg-Holszanski, I am a master programmer and can teach you to code. Dorje Shugden always answers prayers. If the situation you described with the person owing you the money, if you have paper with the amount on it, or any written record(email/text) that she owes it to you, then you can take the matter to a court; even if not, you can get your possessions back this way. In the UK this is cheap and can be done online, and is not intimidating. IF she owns property of any kind, it is reasonably assured you can get your money back. Do not delay after you have received a county court order to contact a high-court enforcement company, as they will compel payment and are very successful. I have very similar problems to you with my home, weight, etc, pray for me. Make sure to practice Dharma every day even 5 minutes, regardless of circumstance.

If you want to contact me, you can through capricorn astrology software and use the contact page.

If you find my advice helpful, please pray that the Three Jewels will forgive me for my mistakes.
